Chapter 1475 “Self-Humiliation (4)”
All in all, what Bai Ning did just now was all no more than a front, a fake but well thought out front that was also quite risky. But then again, she didn’t have a choice considering all she had to work with.
So what if she beat Keeper Ling? Surely the Celestial Palace would bring in the other Keepers afterwards, what then? Obviously nothing. One person of her caliber wouldn’t be able to contend with that many. She’s proud and courageous, not foolish and blind.
Of course, if the worst-case scenario occurred and Keeper Ling stuck around then obviously the woman here would fight to the end. Fortunately it didn’t and things worked out fine. There’s no person in this world who wasn’t afraid of death, its just a matter of are they prepared to meet their end for their goal.
……
After leaving the Demon City, Keeper Ling soon caught up to the old witch who continued to flee at her fastest speed. And like usual, her lies and deception easily fooled the old man, claiming she only escaped for the sake of saving the world.
Just like that, the pair returned to the Celestial Palace without further incident.
“Keeper Ling, what is going on? Why are you and Ruo Xi in such a horrid state?” Some of the Keepers who saw their return hurried over to ask for their condition, especially Keeper Zun who showed the greatest worry due to his kind nature.
They all believed Yun Ruo Xi to be the savior of this world so many were quite unhappy that Ling would allow the girl to suffer such injury. What if she dies before the calamity strikes? What then?
Ignoring the blaming looks coming his way, Keeper Ling got straight to the point: “Di Cang has a daughter. That wretched demon wench schemed against Ruo Xi and poisoned her.”
There was a long pause after the news, followed by a burst of ecstasy in the hearts of these old Keepers. Apparently the joy had overshadowed the other part about the poison.
“There’s a princess in the Demon Realm…. Then does that mean Ruo Xi can be saved?”
Huffing a grunt at the question: “If you can pull a win over that Bai Ning then go ahead, she’s at the Demon City right now. Although Di Cang the Demon King is injured after his fight with me, it’s not enough to cripple him. If we go now it will only result in our death!”
Bai Ning?
What does this have to do with Bai Ning? Wait, does that mean he’s hurt and in this ragged state because of Bai Ning?
Many of them thought, gazing up at down at their peer’s horrid state.
“Are you sure? How can that woman be a threat?” Keeper Yellow asks with a skeptical tone. He’s the one most against Ling and still held a grudge for the previous punch he took.
Gloomy in the face, Keeper Ling obviously recognized the skeptic looks coming his way: “Do you not see my appearance? This is what Bai Ning did to me, and guess what? Do you know how many hits she needed to hurt me? Just one! She hurt me to this level with one blow! If I hadn’t run fast enough, my life would’ve been left there today!”
If one never experienced it first hand then of course they couldn’t relate, but he did, that’s why he’s so affirmative that Bai Ning has changed drastically compared to two years ago.
When everyone heard his outcry, they promptly got all quiet. It’s eerie and uncomfortable.
One blow to defeat Ling?
Can they really manage if they attack the Demon City now?
This Bai Ning… When did she get so strong?
“Enough everyone, let’s further discuss on how to deal with the Demon Realm, but first I need to go plead with Healer Yu. We need to find an antidote to save Ruo Xi.” Keeper Zun’s gaze got all gloomy at the prospect, “Let’s hope he will help…”
After saying this, the kindest of the Keepers hurried away from the spot and headed for the back mountain where said person would be. However, due to the deep hatred Healer Yu has of the old witch right now due to a misunderstanding, there’s no way he would help.
And word travels fast around these parts, especially in the Celestial Palace. When known, the old alchemist immediately hightailed it out of there with Yue Shishi and caused Keeper Zun to hit a miss.
